val, regardless of the amount of
drops on the windshield.
In the design variant the vehicle
is equipped with automatic control
system of the windshield wiper
(cleaning system) enabling to switch
on and off the wiper automatically. It
depends on raindrops availability on
the windshield.
The cleaning system operates
only when the ignition is on.
To enable the cleaning system you
should changeover the rain sensor
switch 1 (see Fig. 33), located behind
the rear-view mirror, from position
0 to
any position from 1 to 4 **, and switch
the wiper lever to position III (intermit-
tent operation mode). Thereupon, the
wiper blades make one stroke, and
then they will be switched on or off
depending on the amount of rain-
drops on the windshield.
If the cleaning system has already
been enabled, so when switching on
the ignition the wiper blades also
make one stroke and the cleaning
system is engaged into operation.
When detecting a fault the cleaning
system will be automatically switched
to «manual» wiper control mode.
To disable the automatic cleaning
system and switch to the «manual»
wiper control mode you should
change the rain sensor switch to
position
0 (extreme left position). In
this mode the wiper lever assembly
manual control to appropriate posi-
tion is performed.
When switching off the ignition the
wiper operation stops. The blades
are set to parking position.
If, before the ignition was switched
off, the wiper operated in one mode
at a constant speed of cleaning, then,
after switching off the ignition, the
wiper blades may stop in the non-
parking position. To switch the wiper
blades to the parking position you
should changeover the wiper lever to
position
I or III no later than in 30 sec-
onds after switching off the ignition.
To remove smudges, deposits of
road salt or pavement elements, clean
the wiper blades and windows with
washer fluid periodically. Availability of
fat, wax, insects, etc. on the wind-
shield can lead to irregular operation
of wipers and to appearance of
smudges on the window. If smudges
are not removed after applying the
washer fluid, clean the outside of the
window and the wiper blades with a
soft cloth using special detergents.
After cleaning, wash the window and
the wiper blades with water.
ATTENTION!
1. To prevent damage, do not
use the windshield wiper with the
bonnet opened.
2. You should not switch on the
wiper in case the windshield is
dry. This may result in scratches
on the window or damage the
wiper blades. When the window is
dry, always use the window wash-
er before switching on the wipers.
3. If the wiper blades froze to
the window, before switching on
the wiper you should first switch
on windshield heating (see
Section «Ventilation and Heating
Modes»). An attempt to switch on
the wipers with its blades frozen
to the window can lead to damage
of the blade rubber tape.
4. Do not clean the wiper
blades with petrol or solvent, it
will damage them.

to the extreme right position 4 .
